did a search and he has a 2011 car. it might be possible that he has one of those new radios with built in bluetooth which in this case, the mic wiring would be direct to the radio connector instead of the combobox.

Looks like I'm pulling the radio....What would I look for to see if my radio has BT built in?

Guys I broke the cover for the sun roof controls. I can't figure out how to get the rest of it off. Also need name of just the cover or part number. I can't find it.. tested the mic and it worked

sorry to hear that. there are instructions on how to get the fzd off properly.

what i did was to squeeze my fingers on my right hand through the roof liner and the windscreen, then slide my hand to where the FZD is. i then used my middle finger to feel for the metal clip of the FZD and pushed hard at the clip. once the clip is depressed in, part of the FZD will drop and i used my left hand to keep the part from springing back.

then i slide my hand to feel for the other clip and did the same. once this other clip is depressed, the whole FZD will just drop down.

for part number, realoem is a good site for the exact part you need.

Found out that the only way to fix the crack is replace the entire unit..(463 dollars) I am super gluing it now.. I will let you guys know how that turns out.

I have BT in my 2006 e90... I have my Iphone set up and the BT works fine... Here is my question. when I run my navigation though my phone it runs through the BT and I can hear the directions though the speaker system but, I cannot figure out how to play my music thought the bt.. I know newer cars can do this and if the navigation can send the signal though BT I should be able to send the pandora or music as well.. Has anyone done this or can tell me if I need something to accomplish this? I hate having to use the dumb cord.

This has been discussed *a lot* - only the much newer cars with a combox instead of the TCU or MULF support A2DP stereo streaming of music.

So I pulled my radio and it does not have the bluetooth logo on it. I'm at a stand still here. It looks like the gods do not want me to have BT in this vehicle

To recap my situation...My vehicle was coded successfully and I was able to pair my phone and make phone calls. I plugged in the factory BT antenna using an SMB Female to Female connector to the Combox. I then plugged the factory BT Mic into the Combox using pins 25 (Mic+) 12 (Mic-) and 11 (Mic Shield).

This would be silly, but you're sure the mic cable is plugged in the right way on the mic end? I wish I knew where to find the directional connectors, bit try flipping it over.

I tried that....pretty much tried every possible connection. Maybe my Mic is dead although i bought it brand new from BMW. I noticed most members here who did the BT Retrofit have older cars with either the TCU or Mulf. I'm dealing with a 2011 and a combox. Maybe I should check out the 128 forums. They seem to have similar setups as mine.

I wonder if perhaps you have to pin it into the CCC or something instead of the combox? That wouldn't make a lot of sense, though.

nah...that wire is pretty durable. I think I need to replace my head unit with the one that has BT Built in. My car has all sorts of weird things (for instance i have 6fl but it's not the normal one that plugs into the combox from the blue housing connector.

You shouldn't need to replace the headunit, there's got to be a way to get this done. There are early E90 combox cars with no iDrive and bluetooth, you can't possibly be the only one. Do you have a coding setup or did you get someone else to do it?

What do you mean weird 6fl that doesn't connect via the normal blue housing? 6FL implies USB port in the armrest, which connects via a circular cable back to the MULF or Combox - the connector is circular with 4 pins inside oriented in a square.

Someone else did the coding.

I have 6fl (USB in armrest and it works with regular iphone cable) however the connecter at the combox (4 pins oriented in a square) is not being used...nothing is plugged into it. I believe my 6fl is connected by the harness in the back of the combox. I'm basing this on wires i see in certain pin locations of that particular harness.

Found this quote in another thread. This would explain why my 4 pin connector is not being used.
